Bonjour, After several months it has taken me to change the engine in my 1998 MGF, I am ready to start up.

Colant systel full and bled, oil and filter added.

It was suggested that I remove plugs and give short runs until oil pressure was obtained.

First problem was the key fobs . After battery changes and following the handbook re-registering, they work fine.

But the starter key does nothing. I have tried pressing the fob buttons after fitting the key. Everything else works, lights, doors.

What should I try and check first? I don't have a code reader. I feel quite useless.
